The wait is killing me slowly I am not sleeping well at the moment a good night sleep is 4 hours at most on really bad night 1 and a half hours with all the anxiety about the surgery I.e Am I doing the right thing.Will I get through op and many more questions I am asking myself. Please contact me if you're the same.

Thanks

There is also a UK forum here, might be worth posting there too :)

The site has changed a lot in the past few days but it used to be that you clicked on the persons profile and added them as a friend.

Hope it works for you!

Hi. From the uk here. Literally just downloaded this app so no idea what the score is here yet.

I'm pretty sure everyone will go through the 'should I do this' stage. I've been back and forth about it for 10 months now. I have my final dietician appt tomorrow morning before he does the surgeon referral so I could be in really soon. I still can't make my mind up 100%

Hello shanieO

Where about are you from the uk? I am from Essex.
How did you get on with your dietician appt?
I had my dietician appt 2 weeks ago and was told I will be given a date anytime now between now and 6 months.When I was told at Christmas I would be given a date around the start of March that was only I actually said to surgeon outright when do you think it will be start middle or end of March .So been told different times and the end of the day worse case it will be 6 months.

Congratulations on your surgery.Glad to hear your feeling great after your surgery.
Did you have gas before your op as I get it every now and then at the moment so I don't get it everyday and this was one of the reason they wanted me to have a bypass as I have refused it saying that to me that is really serious op to far if you know what I mean by that.
Keep us updated on how your feeling .[emoji106]

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
